[QUOTE="Guest, post: 61487"] Well , it depends on what your gonna be shooting in Africa if you going after the big five that I would say at least a 458Win. I persoanly have a 460 Wby that I got a good deal on so I got it but I'm not totaly convienced that all that power is needed. the bigest thing I have shot was a domestic hog that got loose and had turned feral she weighed over 600lbs and one round at about 125-150yds in the head fliped her over. Bullet exited the rear quarter leaving about a fist sized hole , she never even kicked . the bullet was a 500gr Trophy Bonded Bear claw launched at about 2600fps. If you chose the right bullet I think that the 378Wby would be a good choice but you bullets may not be well suited for all game [/QUOTE]
